Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit for a communication device.
- the invention further relates to a communication device comprising a circuit according to the preceding paragraph.
- the invention further relates to a method of controlling a transmission of a transmission data signal.
- a communication device comprising a circuit according to the first paragraph, which communication device is enabled to perform the method of controlling a transmission of a transmission data signal according to the third paragraph is known in connection with the international standard ISO/IEC 18092.
- the known communication device comprises a communication coil that forms transmission means.
- the communication coil is connected to the circuit.
- the communication coil is designed to establish an inductive coupling with a corresponding communication coil of a further device during a contact-less communication.
- the known communication device is designed to transmit according to said standard a transmission data signal to said further device.
- the further device can be a communication device of identical design or a so-called data carrier that is compliant with the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 or ISO/IEC 15693.
- the known communication device is also designed to receive according to said standard a reception data signal from said further device. Validity of said transmission data signal and said reception data signal is guaranteed by means of a so called anti-collision protocol.
- the anti collision protocol provides after its execution on all devices involved in the communication that only one single further device is selected for a contact-less communication with the communication device.
- the known communication device shows the problem that the exchange of the transmission data signal and the reception data signal between selected devices can be observed relatively easy by means of e.g. bringing a so-called "spy" device into proximity to one of the devices involved in the contact-less communication and observing or analyzing the sequence or content of the transmission data signal and / or the reception data signal.
- circuit according to the invention can be characterized as follows:
- Circuit for a communication device which communication device comprises transmission means that are provided for communicating with a further device, which circuit comprises a transmitter, which transmitter is designed to receive transmission data and to cooperate with the transmission means and to release to the transmission means a transmission data signal that represents the transmission data, and a receiver, which receiver is designed to cooperate with the transmission means and to receive from the transmission means a reception data signal and to provide reception data that represent the reception data signal, and control means, which control means are designed to control the transmitter for releasing the transmission data signal simultaneous to the receiving of the reception data signal by means of the receiver.
- a communication device according to the invention comprises a circuit according to the invention.
- Method of controlling a transmission of a transmission data signal comprises the following steps, namely receiving of a reception data signal from a further device and providing reception data representing the reception data signal, and transmitting simultaneously to the receiving of the reception data signals a transmission data signal representing transmission data.
- the provision of the characteristic features according to the invention creates the advantage that against all past existing conventions and measures that were created in order to guarantee that only one selected device transmits a transmission data signal at a moment the communication device is first time ever enabled to perform a simultaneous bidirectional communication with a further device, in which bi-directional communication a transmission data signal is transmitted while at the same time a reception data signal is received.
- This type of bi-directional simultaneous communication provides the further advantage that for a third device, e.g. a spy device, analyzing the transmission data signal transmitted by the communication device to the further device or the reception data signal received from the further device will become relatively cumbersome or even impossible.
- Some solutions according to the invention provide the advantage that the signal parameter of the modulated carrier signal can be varied according to a random scheme or according to a predefined scheme, which will make it even more difficult for a spy device to distinguish from which of the legally involved device the a data signal unit was transmitted that show a collision.
- Still other solutions of the invention provide the advantage that at least one random number or at least one unique identification number or the like can be exchanged between the communication device and the further device without having the fear that such number can entirely be spyed out or that it is very hard or even impossible to spy out from which legally involved device the number was transmitted.
- Such a number can e.g. be the basis for applying cryptography in a communcation between the communication device and its legally involved communication partner that is the further device whith which a communication is seriously desired and not the spy device which shall be excluded from participating in the communication.
- the communication device transmitting the transmission data signal while receiving the reception data signal that of course also reflects said collisions of data signal units will have no problems in associating the appropriate value with one such data signal unit as the communication device knows for each such data signal unit which data signal unit was transmitted by itself that caused the collision for said data signal unit.
- Figure 1 shows in form of a block diagram a communication device according to a first embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 shows in form of a signal chart a sub carrier representation of a transmission data signal and a reception data signal used by the device according to Figure 1.
- Figure 3 shows in the same manner as Figure 1 a superposition of the transmission data signal and the reception data signal according to Figure 2.
- Figure 4 shows in the same manner as Figure 2 a reception signal having a fixed signal level and a transmission signal having a variable signal level.
- Figure 5 shows in the same manner as Figure 2 a superposition of the transmission signal and the reception signal according to Figure 4.
- FIG. 1 shows a communication device that realizes a so-called Near Field Communication (NFC) device 1.
- the NFC device 1 is designed to communicate according to the international standard ISO/IEC 18092 (NFC).
- the communication device 1 comprises transmission means 2 that are designed and provided for communicating with a further NFC device that is not shown in figure 1.
- the transmission means 2 are realized by a communication coil which in addition is connected to a matching network and a parallel capacitor, which matching network and capacitor are not shown as they are known in prior art.
- the communication coil provides for inductive coupling with a corresponding coil of the further NFC device.
- a capacitive coupling can be realized for the purpose of contact-less communication.
- antennas may be comprised in the station transmission means 2, e.g. mono-pole or multi-pole antennas can be considered.
- the NFC device 1 further comprises an integrated circuit 3 that is connected to the transmission means 2.
- the circuit 3 comprises a transmitter 4, a receiver 5, signal parameter determining means 6 and control means 7.
- the control means 7 are coupled with the transmitter 4 and the receiver 5 and the signal parameter determining means 6.
- the control means 7 are designed to release transmission data TD to the transmitter 4 and to receive reception data RD from the receiver 5.
- a data unit of the transmission data TD is a bit and represents a first number that is either a logical ONE (or "1") or a logical ZERO ("0").
- a data unit of the reception data RD is also a bit and represents a second number that is either a logical ONE or a logical ZERO.
- the transmitter 4 is designed to receive the transmission data TD and to cooperate with the transmission means 2 and to release to the transmission means 2 a transmission data signal TDS that represents the transmission data TD.
- TDS transmission data signal
- the transmitter 4 is designed to produce a carrier signal and to derive from the carrier signal a sub-carrier signal.
- the transmitter is designed to code the sub-carrier signal representing said data unit according to the Manchester coding scheme that is shown in Figure 2.
- the signal chart shown in Figure 2 comprises four signal parts Sl, S2, S3 and S4 of the coded sub-carrier signal that represents the transmission data signal TDS representing four bits having the binary values "0011" and the reception data signal RDS in its non-disturbed form representing four bits having the binary values "0101".
- the representation of the reception data signal RDS shows the sub carrier coding of a bit representing a logic ZERO during the first signal part Sl and during the third signal part S3 and the signal parts S2 and S4 show the sub-carrier coding of a bit representing a logic ONE.
- the representation of the transmission data signal TDS shows the sub carrier coding of a bit representing a logic ZERO during the first signal part Sl and during the second signal part S2 and the signal parts S3 and S4 show the sub-carrier coding of a bit representing a logic ONE.
- the transmitter 4 shown in Figure 2 is further designed for applying the coded sub-carrier signal to the carrier signal in order to produce an amplitude modulation of the carrier signal dependent on the transmission data.
- the coded sub-carriers for the reception data signal RDS and the transmission data signal TDS show in Figure 2 have identical amplitude levels. In a realistic prior art communication this would typically not be the case.
- the transmitter 4 is further designed to receive a signal parameter control signal SPCS and to produce a modulated carrier signal dependent on the transmission data TD and in addition also dependent on the signal parameter control signal SPCS.
- the signal parameter to be controlled is the signal level of the transmission data signal TDS, which is determined by the signal level of the sub-carrier signal. Consequently the transmitter 4 is designed to change the signal amplitude of the sub-carrier signal that causes the transmission data signal TSD. This provides that in the power spectrum of the transmission data signal TDS a carrier signal peak of the carrier signal exists at a frequency of e.g. 13,56 MHz and two further peaks, namely sub-carrier signal peaks exist at a position of e.g.
- the signal parameter control signal SPCS can also be utilized to control in addition to the signal level also the phase and / or the frequency of the carrier signal, if this is required. However for the present case it is assumed that phase and frequency do not require to be controlled.
- the means for varying or changing the amplitude, the frequency or the phase of a signal are known to those skilled in the art and therefore not elaborated in details.
- the receiver 5 is designed to cooperate with the transmission means 2 and to receive from the transmission means 2 the reception data signal RDS and to provide reception data RD that represent the reception data signal RDS.
- the control means are further designed to control the transmitter 4 for releasing the transmission data signal TDS simultaneous to the reception of the reception data signal by means of the receiver 5.
- a simultaneous bi-directional communication with the further device is started by communicating a command to the further device, e.g. a request command for requesting the further device to communicate a serial number back to the NFC device. Due to the fact that the response behavior of the further device is defined by the international standard mentioned above the control means 7 release transmission data TD following the request command according to the timing applicable for receiving the response data signal RDS as defined in said international standard.
- reception data signal RDS represents a load modulation of the carrier signal, which load modulation of the carrier signal is performed by the further device during a contact-less communication with the NFC device 1.
- the reception data signal RDS is taped at a circuit point of the circuit 3 to which also the transmitter 4 and the transmission means 2 is connected.
- the receiver 5 is designed to detect a collision signal CS represented by the reception data signal RDS, which collision signal CS indicates that the reception data signal RDS represents two different numbers, which in the present case is a logic ZERO and a logic ONE, wherein the first number (e.g. a bit) of the two numbers is represented by the released transmission data signal TDS and the second number (e.g. a bit) of the two numbers originates from the further device.
- RFID radio frequency identification
- Figure 3 shows a superposition of the signal parts Sl to S4 of Figure 2. Accordingly the first signal part Sl and the fourth signal part S4 allows to identify a bit having the logical value ZERO and the second signal part S2 and the third signal part S3 show the collision signal CS, for which two signal parts S2 and S3 it is not possible to define the logical value ZREO or ONE that is represented by these signal parts without any further knowledge or assumption.
- the receiver 5 shown in Figure 3 is designed to receive the transmission data TD and to derive based on the known first number represented by the transmission data TD (e.g. logical ZERO during the second signal part S2 shown in Figure 2) the second number originating from the further device (e.g. logical ONE during the second signal part S2 shown in Figure 2) and to release the reception data RD representing the derived second number to the control means 7.
- the detected collision signal CS does not provoke an abortion of any further reception or transmission of data signals as known in prior art. Rather said detection is used to trigger a determination of the reception data RD dependent on the transmission data TD.
- the signal parameter determining means 6 are also connected to the circuit point to which the transmitter 4 and the receiver 5 and the transmission means 2 are connected. This allows basically taping the respective single signal, which is the transmission data signal TDS independent from the reception data signal RDS or the reception data signal RDS independent from the transmission data signal TDS, or a signal combination (superposition) of the transmission data signal TDS and the reception data signal RDS.
- the signal parameter determination means 6 are designed to receive the transmission data signal TDS and to determine at least one transmission signal parameter of the transmission data signal TDS.
- the transmission signal parameter is defined as the signal level of said transmission data signal TDS.
- frequency and / or phase of said transmission data signal TDS may be determined in further embodiment.
- the signal parameter determination means 6 are designed to generate and to release a first parameter representation signal Rl that represents the signal level of the transmission data signal TDS.
- the signal parameter determination means 6 are designed to receive the reception data signal RDS and to determine at least one reception signal parameter of the reception data signal RDS.
- the reception signal parameter is defined as the signal level of said reception data signal RDS.
- frequency and / or phase of said reception data signal RDS may be determined in a further embodiment.
- the signal parameter determination means 6 are designed to generate and to release a second parameter representation signal R2 that represents the signal level of the reception data signal RDS.
- the first representation signal Rl and the second representation signal R2 may comprise also the representation of the phase or the frequency of the respective data signals TDS or RDS.
- the control means 7 are further designed to receive the first parameter representation signal Rl and the second parameter representation signal R2 form the signal parameter determination means 6 and to determine the difference of the signal parameter represented by the two parameter representation signal R 1 and R2.
- the control means 7 are further designed to release dependent on said parameter representation signal Rl and R2, which means on the determined difference of the signal levels, the signal parameter control signal SPCS to the transmitter 4 in order to minimize the determined difference of the signal levels.
- the signal parameter control signal SPCS may also be utilized to reduce any other determined parameter difference.
- the communication device and the further device are described as NFC devices having identical embodiment.
- one communication device 1 may be sufficient to realize the invention as the other device could be a radio frequency identification (RFID) device being designed to response to a request command of the requesting NFC device without having any further measures according to the invention implemented and therefore simply ignoring the transmission data signal TDS communicated simultaneous to the releasing of its e.g. unique serial number.
- RFID radio frequency identification
- the NFC device 1 is embedded in a personal computer (PC) (not shown in figures) on which PC security sensitive data are stored.
- the further device is of the same type and structure as the NFC device 1 and is embedded in a mobile phone (not shown in figures).
- a secure contact-less communication shall be established that allows exchanging the security sensitive data.
- the two devices are arranged into close proximity to each other.
- the master NFC device 1 initiates the communication by means of releasing a secure communication request command for requesting the slave NFC device 1 ' to communicate its unique serial number back to the master NFC device 1 where it is utilized for ciphering the data to be exchanged.
- the communication request command is released according to prior art definitions given in the international standard ISO/IEC 18092, which means that an amplitude modulation of the carrier signal is performed by applying a 100% modulation scheme.
- the (master) NFC device 1 Following the transmission of the communication request command the (master) NFC device 1 must make sure that only one further communication device 1 ' is involved in the following communication.
- a prior art anti-collision procedure is performed in order to guarantee that only the two NFC devices 1 and 1 ' are involved in the communication.
- an problem indication signal is produced that indicates that a collision was detected during the anti- collision procedure and a user operating the devices will be alerted to change the location or position of other devices that may cause the collision. Details regarding how the problem indication signal is made available are not any further elaborated as this does not concern the gist of the invention.
- One drawback of the anti-collision procedure is that it can only exclude devices from playing an active role in the meaning of releasing data signals but it can not exclude other devices from listening to the communication between the two NFC devices 1 and 1 ' that were selected during the anti-collision procedure for the purpose of communicating thereafter.
- a method of controlling a transmission of the transmission data signals TDS is applied by the NFC device 1 that is embedded in the PC, which method deviates from the protocols defined by the internationals standard ISO/IEC 18092.
- the method comprises the steps of receiving of the reception data signals RDS from the (further) slave NFC device 1 ' and providing reception data RD representing the reception data signal RDS by means of the receiver 5, while simultaneous to the receiving of the reception data signal RDS the transmission data signal TDS that represents transmission data TD is transmitted by means of the transmission means 4.
- the modulation scheme applied during the method is distinctly different from the 100% modulation scheme that is typically applied for a communication from a master NFC device 1 to a slave NFC device 1 '.
- the modulation scheme applied is the modulation scheme defined in said standard for a passive communication device, which means load modulation of a provided carrier signal with less than 100% modulation depth.
- the method allows to adjust the power spectrum of the side bands of the transmitted transmission data signal TDS to the power spectrum of the side bands of the reception data signal RDS. Therefore the slave NFC device 1 ' transmits reception data signals RDS that represent a logical ONE while synchronous to the receiving of the reception data signal RDS the master NFC device 1 transmits transmission data signals TDS that represent a logical ZERO as shown in Figure 4.
- This synchronous exchange of logical ZEROs and ONEs is repeated for a number of five (5) times as shown in Figure 4 by means of the signal parts S5 to S9. However the number of repetition may vary dependent on the result to be achieved that is the identity of the two power spectrums as mentioned hereinbefore.
- the method comprises the step of producing by means of the transmitter 4 a modulated carrier signal by means of modulating the carrier signal dependent on the transmission data TD (logic ZERO) and dependent on the signal parameter control signal SPCS, such that the signal level of the modulated carrier signal is determined by the signal parameter control signal SPCS, and releasing the modulated carrier signal as the transmission data signal TDS.
- signal part S5 the signal parameter control signal SPCS representing a preset initial signal level is applied to the transmission means 4. Consequently the signal level of the sub-carrier of the reception data signal RDS and the transmission data signal TDS are quite different.
- the superposition of these data signals RDS and TDS is shown in Figure 5, signal part S5.
- the power spectrum of the side bands for the first half of the signal part S5 will be distinctly different form the power spectrum of the side bands for the second half of the signal part S5.
- the method comprises for each first half of the signal parts S5 to S9 shown in Figure 5 determining by means of the signal parameter determining means 6 the signal level of the transmission data signal TDS and releasing the first parameter representation signal Rl that represents the transmission signal level.
- the method further comprises for each second half of the signal parts S5 to S9 shown in Figure 5 determining by means of the signal parameter determining means 6 the reception signal level of the reception data signal RDS and releasing the second parameter representation signal R2 that represents the reception signal level.
- the method further comprises dependent on said representation signals Rl and R2 for the signal part (n) releasing said signal parameter control signal SPCS for the following signal part (n+1) such that the difference between the determined reception signal level of the signal part (n+1) and the corresponding transmission signal level, which is the signal level of the signal part (n+1) is reduced.
- the difference between the reception signal level and the transmission signal level is reduced iteratively as shown in Figure 5.
- an analytical approach may be considered that could lead to a faster or immediate reduction of the difference.
- the distance between the master NFC device 1 and the slave NFC device 1 ' does not change as they are located in a stable position close to each other. Consequently a further adjusting of the transmission signal level to reception signal level is not required. Having not such a stable arrangement may lead to the requirement that after having established a first signal level match the signals levels require to be dynamically monitored and the signal level of the sub carrier causing the transmission data signal TDS must be dynamically adjusted also during the exchange of data signals following the initial signal level match.
- the dynamic adjustment may be performed based on determining signal levels during the signal parts that represent the collision signal CS.
- the unique identification number of the master NFC device 1 After having adjusted the power spectrum of the reception data signal RDS and the transmission data signal TDS to each other the unique identification number of the master NFC device 1 is transmitted in a bit by bit manner to the slave NFC device 1 simultaneous to a bit by bit reception of the unique identification number of the slave NFC device 1.
- the unique identification number of the master NFC device 1 is represented by the transmission data TD.
- the method comprises detecting a collision signal CS represented by the reception data signal RDS for situations shown in corresponding signal parts S2 and S3 of Figure 2 and Figure 3.
- the method further comprises deriving a value of a bit of the number originating from the slave NFC device 1 ' based on the known value of the corresponding (synchronous) bit of the number originating from the master NFC device 1.
- the first binary value represented by the transmission data signal TDS is the binary complement of a second binary value represented by the reception data signal RDS without the superposition with the binary value represented by the transmission data signal TDS. Consequently the reception data RD will represent the binary complement of the binary value of the transmission data TD that has caused the collision signal.
- the unique identification number of the master NFC device 1 shall be "c5" in hexadecimal coding, which is "1100 0101” in binary coding.
- the unique identification number of the slave NFC device 1' shall be "73" in hexadecimal coding, which is "0111 0011” in binary coding.
- the two legally involved NFC devices 1 will exchange the unique identification numbers and resolve (decode) the collision signals CS occurring during the communication for the bit positions 0, 2, 3, 5 and 6 according to the method explained hereinabove.
- the spy device will understand only the number "xlxx Oxxl” in binary coding, wherein the symbol "x" indicates a collision signal for which the spy device can not distinguish which device has sent a logical ZERO or a logical ONE.
- the spy device may detect approximately 50% of the unique identification numbers but the numbers are independent from each other, which may be of advantage for cryptographic purposes.
- both legally involved NFC devices 1 delete the bits having identical logical values.
- the new unique number is "0*11 *01*", wherein the symbol "*" indicated bit positions that have been deleted.
- a draw back of this method might be that both legally involved NFC devices 1 and 1 ' know only one unique number, which is "01101". The advantage of this method is given in the fact that the spy device does not know this number because the bits that are obvious are deleted and the value of the bits that are not obvious for the spy device have been determined internally within the master NFC device 1 and the slave NFC device 1 '.
- the master NFC device 1 which can receive and transmit at the same time according to the invention, is involved in a communication with a sort of standard RFID tag that is not designed perform a bi-direction synchronous communication according to the invention.
- the spy device will understand the number "xlxx Oxxl” while both devices know the entire number that was provided by the standard RFID tag, which number is "0111 0011".
- This sort of communication can be considered as unidirectional synchronous communication as the standard RFID tag will not listen to the transmission data signal TDS that is transmitted by the master NFC device 1 and that is simply used to hide form the spy device as many bits as possible that were received from the RFID tag.
- control means 7 can be partly associated with the transmitter 4 and with the receiver 5 or can even be incorporated within the transmitter 4 and the receiver 5 and can be designed to exchange data with each other.
- a number Nl represented by the reception data RD or a number N2 represented by the transmission data TD can either be processed by the circuit 3 or can be exchanged with a higher level device in which the devices 1 is embedded or to which the device 1 is connected.
- the focus was given on contact-less communication.
- the concept of the invention is not limited to contact-less communication and can be applied to contact-bound communication devices as well.
- the signal parameter determining means 6 can be used to monitor the signal level or the respective signal parameter of interest and to provide the representation signals Rl and R2 also during said synchronous communication.
- the difference between the monitored signal parameters can be evaluated also during said synchronous communication and in case that the difference between the signal parameters exceeds a predefined allowed value a warning signal can be released or the communication may even be aborted because a "man in the middle" attack might have been detected.
